Call it a hunch, but we’re thinking that things aren’t getting any better between The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Tamra Barney and Vicki Gunvalson, at least not anytime soon. After Vicki blasted Barney in her Bravo blog, accusing her and fiance Eddie Judge of encouraging Brooks Ayers to appear on the show, only to throw him under the bus later (Hey, is that Alexis Bellino driving that bus?!), Tamra is just dying to get her side of the story out. And by her account, everything Vicki said is “a straight up LIE!”

You may find it odd that Tamra Barney doesn’t address Vicki Gunvalson’s comments regarding her and Eddie’s alleged conversations with Vicki and her leech boyfriend Brooks about whether or not he should appear on the show in her most recent Bravo blog.

Why didn’t she bring it up?

Actually, she did, but apparently, Bravo deleted everything she had to say, asking her to save it for next week.

Tamra just couldn’t wait to respond to this, though:

“We went to Mexico together…months prior to the media exposing Brooks and we told them our fears of introducing Brooks to the world. … They both encouraged us and said we should show everyone our new boyfriends and to show how happy we both were,” Gunvalson told fans of the show. “We spent many weekends together. Never once did Tamra even talk to me about her concerns of Brooks — until months later.”

“We were completely honest with them, as we trusted them with our relationship,” Vicki continued.

What does Barney have to say to that?

“This is a straight up LIE and Eddie has the text messages to prove it,” says Tamra, arguing that Judge advised Brooks NOT to go in camera, in light of all of the deadbeat dad allegations against him.

We’d sure like to see those text messages!

What do you think RTVM: Who’s telling the truth — Vicki Gunvalson or Tamra Barney? Sound off in the Comments section below.

Jim Bellino!? The control freak(?) whose wife lies so much she cant keep it all straight(?) They are so phony, fake azz, lying phonies, at least Dubrow has real money and a real house not like the Bellinos and their rental.

Don’t really like Vicki,but I can’t stand 2 faced Tamra…She had no problem with Brooks when she put his hand on her fake boob when she had them.Vicki should have smacked her for that.Tamra is trashy.Her new frienship with Gretchen is a joke.

Tamra is so jealous of Alexis(Younger and Prettier) and Tamra used to be jealous and evil to Gretchen.
I think Tamra is just plain and nasty and a very very jealous person who looks like a bad Dolly Parton impersonator.
She’s nothing but a vile short aging witch

Vicki really was humbled this season by Tamra’s betrayal, her divorce from Don, and her daughter’s elopement. She apologized to Gretchen and Slade and made up with Alexis and Jim, and was very respectful towards Jeana. Kudos to her. I hope she continues along the right path and remains a better person. She needs to cut Tamra loose.

Gretchen sold out and after years of abuse from Tamra, took the path of least resistance by catering to Tamra and becoming friends. Poor Alexis who has always stood by Gretchen, was thrown right under the bus by Gretchen. It was sad to see, and Gretchen should be ashamed.

Heather, the phoniest of all of them, carved out an odd role on the show, mainly focusing on Alexis and tearing her down. Some of the things said about Alexis are probably true, and Alexis needs to work on those unappealing aspects of her personality. But Heather and Tamra were savage, and need to work on themselves before preaching to others.

Tamra screamed, yelled, complained, back-stabbed, accused, whined, cried, often without tears, and behaved negatively and shrilly all season long. So much for changing and being happy. Tamra is the bully of the show, and like other troublemakers in the Housewives series – Carolyn from NJ, Nene from Atlanta, and LuAnne from New York, has become a one-note character, a negative one. Bravo needs to take her off the show. She’s OC’s version of Jill Zarin.

I wouldn’t believe Vicki,didn’t you guys listen to the show part 2,when Brianna was telling her mother about that she knew about brooks along time ago,and of course vicki got mad and than she started whispering to Briana to shut up about everything already.Vicki sees the flaws in everybody else,but thinks she is perfect,far from it.Vicki is a Liar and she belongs with that lowlife boyfriend of hers.

Actually, Vicki is the one who seems like Jill Zarin, only Vicki is behaving a lot worse. Jill looks like an angel when compared to Vicki. In the same was that Jill didn’t want Bethenny to have other friends, or participate in activities which didn’t include Jill, Vicki doesn’t want Tamra to have other friends or participate in activities which don’t include Vicki.
Vicki is definitely the new Jill Zarin, and I can’t wait to watch Tamra’s spinoff show. And I highly commend her for going back to her natural body!

Come on, her natural body? You have GOT to be kidding me. It is obvious to MEW that she has new implants since the airing of the old ones taken out. Guess she doesn’t like the natural look so much after all….and I don’t care about whos are real or fake but she is always trying so say she is so honest, but doesn’t own up…..look at those brown boobs on this page….a bit um….plump.

vickie tried to shove deadbeat Dad Brooks in everyone’s face and basically let it be known she didn’t care if we liked him or not he was as she called him her man – HA HA ! Her own family can’t stand the guy and see that he is using her…get her off the show she has shown her true colors and is not longer the respected member of the group- but she had so much to say about Slate! look in the mirror. She doesn’t want Tamara as a friend any more because Tamara does not support Brooks bottom line—Vickie is an old lady going through a midlife crisis…..and she should of stayed with Don at least he didn’t treat her like the fool she is….after Heather’s party where Vickie was looking like an animal in the face and foaming at the mouth, I say her time on the show should be over —I hope the sex is great from a Deadbeat because you have and will continue to pay the price – loss all respect for you! Go Tamara

And they say men only think with their penis… well Vickie is only thinking with her twat! Any woman that would take in a Deadbeat and give him credit cards and a checking account and let him drive her car and move him into her house when he has no job, no money and no family that cares about him should say volumes about what kind of person your dealing with here.

Oh it’s Vicki that’s the liar for sure. Have you people not been watching since the beginning? She’s a nasty piece of work, and like the ladies said to her at Tamara’s party…Tamara said “Vicki you couldn’t stand Alexis before all of this and now she’s your best friend”. That’s what Vicki does, she needs someone to worship her, and now that Tamara isn’t her little suck up buddy, she has moved on to someone else. Vicki is the real shit disturber in all of the troubles, she’s always there stirring the pot. And, have you not ever noticed how Vicki always has to be the center of attraction. Whenever someone is talking about something that’s going on their lives, Vicki always butts in and makes it about her. She’s as nasty, fake, and narcissistic as they come. Glad to see that Gretchen finally got a backbone and stands up to Vicki now.
